First GTA: San Andreas screenshots

[Half Japanese]

straight from the horse's mouth at www.rockstargames.com/sanandreas :







I never was a huge fan of the games, but I figure someone here's been waiting on this...

Looks gorgeous but hows the gameplay look?

[Half Japanese]

Probably the same old crap with enough there to make all the usual game journalists praise it as game of the year and drop 10's all over the place. I won't be picking it up, at least not until it hits the bargain bin...

That guy on the bike really needs to pull his pants up, what if they fall while he's riding, he might get hurt!

lol It looks cool so far .I hope they put some faster cars in it and more unlockables.An a REAL reward for getting 100% complete besides a damn tshirt.

For me, I dont think that Vice City can be topped. It had the music and the humor and everything that catered to my tastes. The three San Andreas screenshots say nothing more than gang war. And while I'm sure that GTA needs to start to up the ante a little bit in order to compete with games like True Crime, I just cant imagine them bringing anything that incredibly fresh to the table with this one. I'm interested, and I have loved each of the GTAs from the past, but really, Vice City was a masterpiece, how can you surpass it without having motorcycles with sidecars?

Pardon my ignorance ... was Rockstar accused of being racist or something? It seems curious that all the screenshots are of black characters. Is this game being marketed differently, or did someone complain that you could only play white characters up until now?

Those screenshots look awesome, but I agree that I don't know how Vice City can be topped. This is bound to be the same GTA style gameplay with different characters and missions set in a different city. Big deal, you know?

I'm honestly starting to get tired of all these newer games being released that have so many sequels made or the same game is re-released with a new name and facelift. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE GTA III and Vice City, they're truly great games. But c'mon Rockstar, you're starting to wear out your welcome!

[Scoots]

VC was a masterpiece but I can think of plenty of ways they could've improved on it too. "Better looking cutscenes" wasn't reallly one of them though, so I guess I'll have to reserve judgment for now...

Well GTA III was basically set in New York with the Itallian Mafia, Vice City in Miami with the cubans. I guess California has black gangs? *shrugs*

Rockstar's suffering from Capcom syndrome now- making add-ons for an exsisting title ala SF2. Least Rockstar learned to count to 3 before they started asking what number comes next.

[gamergary]

They need to add bikes,skateboards and building access.

Massive online deathmatch plz.

Hope the gameplay is good. Those screens look ver similar to Vice City. But, as always, we will have to wait and see untill the finished product comes out.

I can't wait for the "Why does it have to be an African American?" crap.

(Don't take it the wrong way, remember the hatians.)

Better make him Pink Rockstar.

I second its not just you. Look a mordern CA Vice City. More of the same. Oh well

More of the same old good stuff is not always good.

The Graphics look smoothed out a bit but damn the PS2 is really starting to show its age here I mean look at this one of Sony's cash cows and compare to the NEW ZELDA FOR GAMECUBE or even though its not really a fair comparison Halo2 or any of the current Xbox games
as far as gameplay goes if this is just going to be full of a bunch of gang-war crap x_x I will definitely pass on this edition of GTA
I dont care to go around killing ppl in a game cuase they are wearing the wrong color do-rag or racist stuff like that but thats just me I guess
also IMOA the GTA:double pak i have for Xbox looks better than this
I guess well see

I'll be happy unless it's all GANGSTA instead of GANGSTER. If the lead character is some punk wannabe "thug playa" instead of the complicated, endearing, yet dangerous "mob badass", I'll really be upset.

Ha ha. It's true, but if Rockstar releases an update a year for the GTA series I for one will be a very, very happy man.
